A former CDC director is preparing to challenge the legality of her termination, as her testimony contradicts official accounts. The dispute highlights tensions within the public health sector, with contrasting narratives emerging from different sources. A copy of Susan Monarez’s testimony obtained by POLITICO contrasts sharply with Health Secretary Kennedy’s remarks before the Senate Finance Committee. The conflict between the two accounts raises questions about the transparency and accuracy of the information being presented. The situation is expected to have implications for the ongoing discussions about public health policies and administrative accountability.
